How to make decentralized apps (Dapps) more user-friendly

Decentralized applications (dApps) have the potential to revolutionize industries and improve the way we interact with technology. However, to reach its full potential, Dapps must provide a user experience that is intuitive, secure, and easy to use.

1. Supporting most of the wallets

One of the biggest challenges for dApps is that they often require users to have a specific wallet in order to interact with them. This can be a barrier to entry for many users, who may not be familiar with the different types of wallets available.

To improve the user experience, dApps should support as many different wallets as possible. This will make it easier for users to access the dApp and interact with it, regardless of which wallet they prefer to use.

2. Provide clear confirmation screens

When a user initiates a transaction on a dApp, they are usually presented with a confirmation screen that summarizes the details of the transaction. However, many of these screens can be confusing, using jargon like “GWEI” and “Royalties” that may not be familiar to non-developers.

To improve the user experience, dApps should use human-friendly labels on their confirmation screens, and show both the local currency value and the crypto value of the transaction. This will help users understand the transaction and feel more confident in confirming it.

3. Ensure security

One of the key advantages of dApps is that they are decentralized and do not rely on a single authority to manage them. However, this also means that users are responsible for their own security.

To improve the user experience, dApps should empower users to disconnect and revoke token approvals immediately. They should also provide the option to disconnect/revoke token approvals after a specified period of time, such as 24 hours or 1 week. This will help users feel in control of their security and protect their assets.

4. Display transaction status

After a user confirms a transaction on a dApp, they often have to wait for it to be processed on the blockchain. This can be a frustrating experience, especially if the transaction takes longer than expected.

To improve the user experience, dApps should provide a clear transaction status screen that shows the progress of the transaction and an estimated time of completion. This will help users understand what is happening and reduce their anxiety.

5. Enable gasless transactions

One of the biggest challenges with using DApps is the high gas fee. These fees can make using DApps expensive, especially for small transactions.

To improve the user experience, DApps should enable gasless transactions whenever possible. This will allow users to interact with the Dapp without having to pay.
